Dreary golden-cleared Helles-styled lager dumps cloy honey malt stickiness atop barren Saaz hop astringency. Putrid lemony green apple center, glutinous corn whiskey shoddiness, and dirty earthen bottom beleaguer dankly dry medium body further.

Fine pale-bodied mainstream middleweight gains tender wheat-cracked barley sweetness as chalky mocha malt dryness subsides. Serve as alternative to Bud.

Generic named lager forges persistent mellow mood from sweet barley, sour yeast, and subtlest cocoa. Delicate fizz tickles tongue. Simple soothing relaxant.

Clear-hued sharp-grained musty-scented lager with mildly hopped lemony apricot fizz adding tingle to delicate water texture. Not as soapy as some Eastern Euro middleweights, but very limited in flavor.

Astringent maize nose informs dainty off-dry floral wheat luster and salted hop pep of peculiar golden-hazed lager. Buttery cocoa malts and wobbly licorice notes infiltrate soapy orange limed suggestion to cheap Scotch finish. Tinny alcohol-burnt astringency ruins medicinal intrigue.

Canned traditional German-styled pale lager maintains lemon soda flow and sweet cola fizz. But dank malting, cloy sucrose finish, and nasty skunked aroma preclude subsequent quaffing.

Pearly white-headed yellow-bodied lager has promising fruited malt entry tamed by citric hop wisp and threadbare barley-wheat snip, finishing feebly as dour alcohol astringency overwhelms lightly salted sweet corn stipend.

Brewed in Texas as well as Mexico, this lawnmowing pale lager has a long history and its bottled and canned versions have featured many different, but similar, labels. Obvious Tex-Mex tequila-agave assertion goes fine with lemon twist. But too delicate and unassuming, lacking distinction from fizzed pilsner mouthfeel to light grained finish.

Soapy pale lager with sour wheat entry, dry corn-husked acridity, and doughy bread tepidity fades into fizzy ether. Minor grapefruit splurge dissipates quickly.

Centrist-minded Polish strong lager brings sour honeyed malt pungency and dank yeast sweetness to obtrusive rust watering. Frisky carbonation obscures bittersweet grassy-hopped grain persistence, finishing lighter than expected. Inessential.

Another easy flowin’ Rebel brew (bottled for Svijanska Brewery). Pale yellow hue, fragrant hops, watery flow, and a nip of sour bread yeast consume billowy front end. Mild grain bitterness and light malt persistence soften skanky yeast finish reminiscent of Heineken. A pleasantly acquired taste.

Light, straw-hued, ceramic cold-filtered pilsner with sharp hopped carbonation, malted grain embellishment, and lemony lick lacks consistency and dense texture of Sapporo Reserve.
